An Interesting Experiment.

A highly interesting as well as instruc-
tive experiment in night signaling at sea
will be tried at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. The new method is one suggest
ed by Mr.. Edison. 1t consists in throwing
the rays of the electric light on the
clouds. The clouds, thus acting as re-
Electors, permit the flashes OF the light
being seen at a very great distance. The
regular system Of flashes Of different
lengths can be utilized in this manner by
corresponding them with the dashes and
dots of the regular army and navy code
of telegraphy. This system could be used
to great advantage where the means usu-
ally employed would be inadequate and
unreliable. The present manner Of send
ing messages at night between different
vessels consists Of the common torch.
which is used in the same manner as the
"wig wag' flag in daytime.-Newport

One form of japanese industry seems
doomed to extinction, namely, the max

The old japanese bamboo frame and oil
paper umbrella is fast going out Of use,

a brisk and growing manufacture of UNI
